CUSTOM-CRAFTED CEREMONIES

A human life is a series of transitional thresholds — the wonder of birth, the milestones of childhood, the stretching of adolescence, the grounding of adulthood. We fall in love, inhabit dwellings, nurture families, pursue callings, and eventually, we return Home.

Through every transition, joy can hum beneath the surface, sometimes vibrantly and other times softly. Lisa invites you to honor these moments with nondenominational ceremonies that free your joy to be felt and shared.

Ceremony offerings include:

• Weddings (especially -- but not limited to -- queer and non-traditional)
• Baby welcomings
• Funeral and memorial services
• Blessings for homes or businesses
• Rituals for any of life’s meaningful thresholds

Facilitating unforgettable, heartfelt ceremonies is one of Lisa’s greatest joys, and being welcomed into your milestone moment is a true honor for her.

To cocreate a one-of-a-kind ceremony with Lisa that reflects your unique spirit and story, reach out here and begin the conversation.

Lisa is authorized to perform legal weddings throughout the United States. Details will vary based on the location and specific needs of the celebrants.

Lisa is happy to custom-tailor a Joy Vibe Tune-Up program to meet the needs of your group or organization. These programs can be offered either online, or at your  Hudson Valley or South Florida venue.  Whether you're looking to boost workplace morale and wellness, create an effective, connected, and synergistic team within your organization, or offer a balm of hope to your congregation or community, the rare skill of self-created peace and joy is one we'd all be wise to master in these unprecedented times!

An award-winning author of books about joy and love that have sold over 9 million copies and a teacher of spiritual and psychological principles for over 2 decades, Lisa has found Joy Vibe Tune-Up to be the best technique she’s ever used for elevating one’s personal vibration at will. Combining the best of contemporary neuroscience and ancient wisdom, Joy Vibe Tune-Up draws upon Lisa's decades of spiritual and psychological education, her experience as a Reiki Master certified in Biofield Tuning, Theta Healing, Yoga, Emotional Freedom Technique, and other modalities, as well as her experiences with Kirtan, chanting, toning, singing in the Agape Spiritual Center Choir and teaching the Joy School curriculum all these many years. Joy Vibe Tune-Up is the culmination and combination of all these things, yet it’s deceptively simple, straightforward, and easy to learn and practice. Anyone can do it, and it’s almost fail-proof in its effectiveness in elevating personal vibration.
